Action

Please follow the instructions for removing Trojans.

Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entries. The removal of these entries is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.

At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.

Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.

Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entries:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\

and remove any reference to any file you deleted.

Each user has a registry area named HKEY_USERS\[code number indicating user]\. For each user locate the entry:

HKU\[code number]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\RunOnce\

and remove any reference to any file you deleted.

Close the registry editor.

More Information

Troj/Small-DP is a Trojan downloader for the Windows platform.

When run the Trojan attempts to download files from the Internet to the files C:\t.exe, C:\n.exe or C:\m.exe and run them.

The Trojan also tries to create the following registry entries so as to run itself on computer startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Local runole service
%SYSTEM%\srvc32.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Local runole service
%SYSTEM%\srvc32.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Local runole service
%SYSTEM%\srvc32.exe

In order to stealth itself, the Trojan also attempts to inject itself into the Windows Explorer process.
